One of Nancy's co-worker was in a band and playing Saturday night at a pub named Bally Hoo. Another of Nancy's co-workers and friend, Matthew Vandrush and his wife, arranged to meet Nancy and a few other people at Little Rock Posse Hall. Nancy left her car there and rode with the Vandrushs.

Matthew drives the trio to Bally Hoo. Nancy meets a man and they seem to hit it off. She gives him her number. When it's time to leave Matthew and his wife ask Nancy to come back to their house. They reluctantly agree the new man can come with them at Nancy's request. She rides with him and follows Matthew to their house. After some time eating and socializing, Matthew and Nancy step outside to smoke and Nancy shares that the guy is giving her the creeps. At the same time Matthew's wife tells the guy to leave as Nancy doesn't want him there any longer. The new guy later is interviewed and he provides them an alibi, so was cleared.

Nancy and Matthew chat as usual on the way home. Given their long week, she tells Matthew she was going to go home and maybe "unplug the phone and chill out." She drops him off at his home.

Nancy purchases cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and a microwave dinner before leaving the store. This is known because a receipt is found in her house.

A spike in the gas use happens around midnight or shortly before, likely trying to keep up with low temperatures, in the 30's. This information is confirmed by detectives when they view Nancy's utilities. Investigators agree they believe this is due to the door being left open at the time she vanished.

Nancy Moyer's Home

Nancy's neighbor, rustles partially awake and he hear's a female voice telling someone to let's get going, car door slaming and drive away. He assumes that it is Nancy and her daughters, thinking maybe they had an emergency.

Jim is another employee at the Department of Ecology. He's known by several people there as an "odd duck." Even so, according to Jim he is supposed to have a date with Nancy this evening for which she didn't show up for. This date is supposed to be a second date, the first a couple weeks prior. Coworkers confirm Nancy shared she was going to have a date this weekend - however this is a date that he will give varying accounts of to detectives whether it is supposed to be Friday or Saturday. Jim makes four calls to Nancy's home, leaving two messages on her answering machine. According to Jim's mixed stories, he also goes to Nancy's home where he notices that her front door is open. He takes it upon himself to go inside, looks around seeing she isn't home, and then he exits, leaving the door open as he found it. Typically, Nancy would not have "dates" come to her house even to pick her up, so it is also important to note that Jim had not been to Nancy's house before this night and, again per Jim, he has to Google her address to find where she lives. Jim Roth has passed away now.

Matthew and his wife set up a blog style website for Nancy in hopes to spread awareness and provide someplace for information to be viewed. (Site no longer available.) His blog on the site is considered by many to be oddly personal, a bit strange, though it could be he and his wife just felt that close since they carpooled and socialized outside of work.

A woman walking her dogs from her house down to a Thurston Co Trails for Rails path sees a man acting odd in an overgrown grassy area with brush between the trail and highway 507 in Tenino. His truck parked next near the access to trail on Churchill Road. He is about 80 yards down the path from his truck going back and forth, in and out of the brush, acting strangely. She continues her normal walk about a mile down the path and heads back. She sees the truck was moved on the other side of the green area to the side of the highway and he is still wandering around as he was. When she gets home she has her husband drive back slowly by his pickup to get his license plate and took a picture of the pickup. As they are driving past on their way back home, the man comes out of the brush gets in the pickup and drives heading east. At some point not witnessed by them, he turns around as he's later back in town, west of the trail.

James Baysinger begins releasing episodes of his new podcast as he's investigating Nancy's case. Hope is that he can provide fresh eyes and maybe a citizen detective approach will help find Nancy, presumed dead at this time, and hopefully her killer. In additon to many friends, family, coworkers and law enforcement, James interviews Eric Lee Roberts before and after his confession and recant.

Eric calls 911 and states that he killed Nancy and felt tired of holding it inside. When questioned by investigators, he claims that he and Nancy had a sexual relationship, and that she had attacked him. Later in his questioning, he states that he had accidentally strangled Nancy with a scarf during "rough sex". He claims he burned her body in the back yard.

Investigators began their search of Eric's property after his arrest. During his second interview with investigators, he recants his statement claiming he doesn't remember calling 911 to confess and he does not know why he confessed. Eric now continues claims he did not kill Nancy Moyer. Police are able to hold him for several days on possible weapon charges for guns they found while searching.
